"Greg... you put a great trip together and what an amazing adventure for us! Thanks for making my dream come to reality!! Life is great, but I really miss Africa and everything about our adventure!"

- Bonnie Newman, Tanzania, Africa 2009

"Just back from Tanzania with Greg Downing. What an amazing trip and experience. The wildlife photography was incredible. The guides outstanding. Wonderful memories for a lifetime. Seeing the Discovery Channel or Animal Planet come to life in front of me was the most memorable. In particular, I enjoyed seeing the wildebeest migration and the cheetah hunting."

- Steven Grad, Tanzania, Africa 2009

"Thanks to the both of you (Greg and Alan) for putting on such a good workshop. I think that all the folks regardless of ability level got something out of the workshop. Also, thanks for being so flexible in getting people to the places that they wanted to shoot. Alan thanks for the setups, a cursory look at my photos shows that I have some ones that I will like very much. I know that Judy and I enjoyed ourselves - thanks for the fun workshop!"

- John Sturtevant - St. Paul Island, Alaska 2010

"I really like the way you teach, both in-the-field and in the classroom. I greatly appreciated these sessions and feel I benefited significantly from them."
